Building on work of the first and last author, we prove that an embedding of simple affine vertex algebras $V_{\mathbf{k}}(\mathfrak g^0)\subset V_{k}(\mathfrak g)$, corresponding to an embedding of a maximal equal rank reductive subalgebra…
This paper is a natural continuation of our previous work on conformal embeddings of vertex algebras [6], [7], [8]. Here we consider conformal embeddings in simple affine vertex superalgebra $V_k(\mathfrak g)$ where $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak…
We discover a large class of simple affine vertex algebras $V_{k} (\mathfrak g)$, associated to basic Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak g$ at non-admissible collapsing levels $k$, having exactly one irreducible $\mathfrak g$-locally finite…
We present methods for computing the explicit decomposition of the minimal simple affine $W$-algebra $W_k(\mathfrak g, \theta)$ at a conformal level $k$ as a module for its maximal affine subalgebra $\mathcal V_k(\mathfrak g^{\natural})$. A…
We find all values of $k\in \mathbb C$, for which the embedding of the maximal affine vertex algebra in a simple minimal W-algebra $W_k(\mathfrak g,\theta)$ is conformal, where $\mathfrak g$ is a basic simple Lie superalgebra and $-\theta$…
In this paper we prove a general result saying that under certain hypothesis an embedding of an affine vertex algebra into an affine $W$--algebra is conformal if and only if their central charges coincide. This result extends our previous…
We give a general criterion for conformal embeddings of vertex operator algebras associated to affine Lie algebras at arbitrary levels. Using that criterion, we construct new conformal embeddings at admissible rational and negative integer…
Given a finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ equipped with a nondegenerate, invariant, symmetric bilinear form $B$, let $V^k(\mathfrak{g},B)$ denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to $\mathfrak{g}$ and $B$…
We deal with some aspects of the theory of conformal embeddings of affine vertex algebras, providing a new proof of the Symmetric Space Theorem and a criterion for conformal embeddings of equal rank subalgebras. We finally study some…
In this paper we investigate the structure of intermediate vertex algebras associated with a maximal conformal embedding of a reductive Lie algebra in a semisimple Lie algebra of classical type.
In a previous paper by the authors, we obtain the first example of a finitely freely generated simple $\mathbb Z$-graded Lie conformal algebra of linear growth that cannot be embedded into any general Lie conformal algebra. In this paper,…
We show how various constructions of $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie superalgebras are related to each other. These Lie superalgebras have a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ as the subalgebra at degree 0, an odd $\mathfrak{g}$-module V as the subspace at…
An arbitrary proper parabolic subalgebra ${\mathfrak p}$ of a simple complex Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ induces an embedding ${\mathfrak g}\hookrightarrow \mathbb W_n$, and more generally an embedding ${\mathfrak g}\hookrightarrow \mathbb…
Let $G$ be a simple complex Lie group with Lie algebra $\mf g$ and let $\af$ be the affine Lie algebra. We use intertwining operators and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations to construct a family of $\N$-graded vertex operator algebras…
Given a Lie superalgebra $\frak g$ with a subalgebra $\frak g_{\geq 0}$, and a finite-dimensional irreducible $\frak g_{\geq 0}$-module $F$, the induced $\frak g$-module $M(F)=U({\frak g}) \otimes_{U(\frak g_{\geq 0})} F $ is called a…
We give tables of noncompact real forms of maximal reductive subalgebras of complex simple Lie algebras of rank up to 8. These were obtained by computational methods that we briefly describe. We also discuss applications in theoretical…
We give uniform formulas for the branching rules of level 1 modules over orthogonal affine Lie algebras for all conformal pairs associated to symmetric spaces. We also provide a combinatorial intepretation of these formulas in terms of…
We study the semisimplicity of the category $KL_k$ for affine Lie superalgebras and provide a super analog of certain results from arXiv:1801.09880. Let $KL_k^{fin}$ be the subcategory of $KL_k$ consisting of ordinary modules on which the…
There is a long-standing belief that the modular tensor categories $\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{g},k)$, for $k\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq1}$ and finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$, contain exceptional connected \'etale algebras…
For a connected reductive group $G_k$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of char $\neq 2$ and a fixed point subgroup $K_k$ under an algebraic group involution, we construct a quantization and an integral model of any affine embeddings…
